TV – the next frontier

TV is the next frontier for innovators. In the coming months we’ll see many products trying to bring a wide array of technologies and feature sets to consumers.

It remains to be seen what will win – the two major products to watch are Apple TV obviously with it’s sub $100 price point and the Google TV with it’s Android strategy.

It surely keeps things exciting …

This also indicates that Apple’s timing of releasing the iPad is perfect at the market inflection point. Apple has already sold 3.3 Million iPads since its April 3rd launch date – thats apprx: 36000 iPads a day !

IMO – this is a significant shift towards a more widespread dotcom economy.
